She said it was fought on bushfire relief, on COVID-19 and its economic impact on the community and the drought.Mr Albanese said he believed Ms McBain would be a"champion for the people of Eden-Monaro".capacity and she is someone who will look for solutions, not look for argument."He rejected claims the narrow victory could lead to leadership tensions in the federal Labor party.
"I don't see it as an issue and never did. What this campaign was about was not people with power...it was about people who can't get assistance, small businesses who don't know what is going to happen to them after September in terms of JobKeeper. This is about all of those issues, it wasn't about leadership."The Australian Electoral Commission website shows Ms McBain won by 50.8 per cent on a two-party-preferred basis compared Dr Kotvojs on 49.2 percent.
However, Labor's primary vote declined by 3.1 per cent, while the swing to the Liberals was just over one per cent.
She didn’t get the primary vote. How can she be a champion for the people. She didn’t really win.
A by-election against the government of the day - scrapped in on preferences - a stunning victory
Safe! Whew!

We don't need more commie bAstrs in power aclennell AlboMP Branch stacking aclennell AlboMP the media keep saying there’s no alternative to albo and Andrew clennell has mentioned a bunch of labor mps who he thinks could take over but he never mentioned tony Burke’s name why is that because the Murdoch press and the libs are afraid if he ever takes over auspol

Labor cannot hide behind the pandemic when it comes to Eden-Monaro: Credlin | Sky News AustraliaLabor is already blaming COVID-19, rather than Anthony Albanese, for its performance in the Eden-Monaro by-election, according to Sky News host Peta Credlin.\n\nLabor’s primary vote is down by 3.86%, with the party’s candidate Kristy McBain relying on a strong result in pre-polling to get her over the line.\n\nDuring a heated exchange with Labor’s deputy leader Richard Marles, Ms Credlin said COVID-19 cannot re-write history. \n\n“You can’t hide from the fact, mate, it reflects on your leader,” Ms Credlin said.\n\n“In 100 years, what we didn’t have world wars? We didn’t have other global issues? We didn’t have things like the GFC? … There are plenty of things that have happened in the last 100 years. This pandemic is important but it’s not seismic that it rewrites history.”\n\n“We’re talking about an opposition seat which has been held by less than 2 per cent, it’s on 0.9 per cent. That’s the precondition which would give rise to a circumstance where an opposition could lose a seat to the government,” Mr Marles replied.\n\nIf Liberal Party candidate Fiona Kotvojs won Eden-Monaro, it would be the first time in over 100 years a government has won a seat off an opposition in a by-election.\n AlboMP I’m surprised Peta didn’t blame the South Sudanese AlboMP She would say that wouldn't she. And don't mind that Labor is currently holding the seat. What was the swing? AlboMP
